Does everyone just not use BT keyboards and wire in through USB or SSH<br>into it remotely??<br></blockquote></div><br>Googling, You can find people who have used USB keyboards with a home
built power supply using a battery. The Nokia 770 can't supply power
to the USB keyboard. Also, It is necessary to flash the OS so that it
is in USB host mode.<br>
<br>
A friend of mine has successfully built the power supply and has a USB
keyboard working. However, he complains that he is getting a lot of
duplicate key strokes. He has tried other USB keyboards and continues
to have this problem with them as well. He knows the keyboards are
OK. He has modified the capacitors on the power supply he built, but
is still having the problem.<br>
<br>
I attempted to put together the power supply with a 9v battery, but
probably due to my poor soldering techniques, I was not successful and
finally gave up and bought a Nokia su-8w Bluetooth keyboard. It works
OK, but I am not crazy about the keyboard layout and I am still slow
typing on it. If I remember correctly, you have to use the "Fn" key to
type numbers and the "Fn" and "Shift" keys to type symbols. Not very
good for command line input.<br>
